Spring Awaiting

Although, on any given day, I will proclaim that I am a fanatic for all things cold and dreary (the colours grey and black; cloudy/overcast days; London, etc), my favourite season might possibly be spring. Why? I love flowers. I love pinks, and purples, and greens, and sunshine (not heat, do not be mistaken), and sunglasses, and dresses, and skirts, and overall pretty things. It’s utterly pathetic. Anywho.

Since I have not done a proper DIY since summer, I thought that since spring was just a week away, I might kick it off with a little DIY. To be honest, it’s not the most inventive nor creative, but I have been meaning to make a flower diadem for myself so why not blog about it 🙂

What You Need:

Fake Flowers (at least 5)

A Glue Gun

An Aliceband

And that’s it. That really is.

What You Do:

Make sure your glue gun is hot and pick up your first flower. Turn it upside down and put a reasonable sized blob of glue right in the centre.

Place that flower in the centre of your aliceband and hold it down for at least 10 seconds.

What I did for extra support was take the little green leaves that are attached to the stem and glued them to the underside of the aliceband.

And then you repeat with flowers on either side.

And repeat until you’re happy with the size of your flower diadem 🙂

Now you’re free to enjoy your spring and summer like the flower child you are. Hehe. Wishing you all a happy weekend – mine will be filled with schoolwork 🙁 Until next time.
